A leaked promotional poster for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra has surfaced online, offering one of the clearest looks yet at the design and expected features of Samsung’s next flagship smartphone ahead of its official launch later this month.
The image, widely shared by well-known tipster Evan Blass, showcases the Galaxy S26 Ultra from the rear and side, revealing a refreshed camera layout and refined body design. Samsung appears to have moved away from individually protruding lens circles, instead adopting a cleaner camera island that resembles the style seen on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Design Highlights
The leaked poster points to several notable design elements:
• Refined Camera Island: The back panel shows a vertically aligned camera setup housed in a pill-shaped island. Three large circular camera cutouts are paired with two smaller slots and the LED flash nearby.
• S Pen Support: The iconic S Pen is visible in the image, indicating that stylus support will continue to be a part of the Ultra model. Interestingly, the S Pen shown does not match the body color and appears in black.
• Flat Frame and Buttons: The phone seems to have a flat frame with chamfered edges, and side buttons—such as the power button and volume controls—are integrated smoothly into the frame.
Expected Specifications and Features
Alongside the design leaks from the poster, recent reports and rumours indicate several key upgrades for the Galaxy S26 Ultra:
- Display: A large 6.9-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate is expected, offering a premium viewing experience.
- Processor: The phone is likely to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset globally, promising enhanced performance and efficiency.
- Camera System: Leaks suggest a powerful quad-camera array led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor, paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto with 5x zoom, and a 10-megapixel telephoto with 3x optical zoom.
- Battery and Charging: The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to pack a 5,000mAh battery with support for up to 60W wired charging, marking an improvement over some previous models.
- Software and Other Features: Android 16 with Samsung’s One UI 8.5 is likely to power the device, along with features such as improved thermals and possible privacy-oriented display enhancements.
Launch Timeline and Availability
Samsung is anticipated to officially unveil the Galaxy S26 series, including the Ultra model, in late February 2026 during its Galaxy Unpacked event, with availability following shortly after. Production plans reportedly scaled up in anticipation of strong demand for the top-tier model.
